D-mannitol, melibiose, N-acetylglucosamine, raffinose, D-ribose, D-sorbitol,
sucrose, trehalose, turanose and D-xylose.

Negative results for catalase, gelatin hydrolysis, H
2S production, nitrate reduction, urease, Voges-Proskauer test, acid production
from L-fucose, N-acetylgalactosamine and pullulan.

Variable and weak results for D-mannose, maltodextrin, pullulan, L-rhamnose and starch.
